You can't force your child to go to bed. Well, you can, but it doesn't work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Unfortunately, I have a child who doesn't sleep.
Like every parent, I cannot rest easy until my children are home safe at night.
We had a kid. The kid was awesome. She didn't fall asleep easily. We complained about it. We got frustrated. But we didn't look for an out. We just accepted that this was part of parenting.
When you're not a mom, you can get up in the middle of the night, paint, sleep all morning... you can't do that when you have two children!
I'm not great at bedtime stories. Bedtime stories are supposed to put the kid to sleep. My kid gets riled up and then my wife has to come in and go, 'All right! Get out of the room.'
My friends who have babies can't do anything. You can't go out at night. Having a baby is like a DUI from the universe.
When your child is looking up at you, and you are putting them to bed at night, and they are just lying there, you have to remind yourself that's what it's all about.
It's hard to say no to your kid. It's hard for them to stomp off and not be happy with you for an hour.
I'm like a child inside and I really get excited, so sometimes when I'm trying to go to bed, I'm so excited about the next day that I can't go to sleep.
Sleeping is forbidden at the age of 22. It's all work and no play.
